The Flame Tailspot Cardinal is a great schooling fish that will bring attention to any aquarium. This attractive cardinal is durable with dramatic coloration that is vibrant even at night. They are a passive fish that will not harm their tankmates, but can be a target by more aggressive fish. Provide plenty of hiding places to reduce the chance of aggression on these fish. This fish adapts easily to aquariums and prepared foods. Provide a variety of frozen meaty foods and marine flake food for continued health. Their small adult size of about 3" makes them ideal for smaller aquariums. However, groups will require larger aquariums. The Flame Tailspot Cardinal is vibrant red in color with a black spot near its caudal fin. They are found within the West Americas within coral and rocky reefs up to 45 meters deep. They are nocturnal and will emerge at night to feed.

ACCLIMATION: Avoid exposing new aquatic life to bright lights after opening the box. Turn off aquarium lights prior to floating aquatic life. Allow the sealed bag with your new fish to float in your aquarium for at least 15 minutes (but no longer than one hour) to ensure the water in the bag matches the temperature in your aquarium. A bacteria booster addition can assist with the addition of new aquatic life. Petco offers free water testing in store to determine if your water is safe for the addition of new aquatic life. DIET: A well-balanced diet consists of a variety of flakes, pellets, freeze-dried and frozen foods, depending on the species. FEEDING: Feed sparingly and no more than fish can eat in 1-2 minutes. Overfeeding can quickly foul the water, especially in smaller aquariums.
